[Leica] IMGS: People

[RicCarter]

If the purpose of the collection is to pull the viewer into the world of the subject and make them share their world, I say go for all eye contact. I think this empathetic view is important these days.

You can always make a different set of portraits of people working or doing things, but I really like the idea of a set of all gazes
